Ed played for 17 years with the Vikings, was on all four of the teams that went to the Super Bowl between 1969-77, and then with the Chargers as well playing under legendary coaches Bud Grant and Don Coryell and with legends like Dan Fouts, Fran Tarkenton, Ron Yary, Alan Page, Carl Eller, Jim Marshall, Kellen Winslow among many others. He was also an O-line coach in the NFL with the Rams and Chargers and in college at Cal, his alma mater, and San Diego State.

He is a thriving artist and fights hard for those former players dealing with health issues after their playing days..really intersting guy and career..

Vinny was undrafted out of a Division, persisted, perservered, worked his ass off and made it to the big leagues with the Brewers, Indians and Mets and even homered off of Cole Hamels. Now entering his third season as the Brewers pre and post game analyst, he's carved out a nice post-playing career for himself as he details his road to the big leagues as well as talking about the past and future of the Brewers, who failed to make the playoffs in 2022 after leading the NL Central for a good chunk of the season. The passion for the game is hard to miss..

He oversaw the 1988 Dodgers team that scrapped their way to an upset win over the heavily favored Oakland A's in five games in World Series in his first year in the top role after almost 20 years in the organization in various roles like marketing and public relations, where he came up with the phrase "Dodger Blue." We start off talking about the legendary Jackie Robinson and move into his work with young sports business students in southern California and talk about numerous Dodgers legends as well as the current state of the game. Great insights from someone who lived it for a long, long time..

Lary broke into the big leagues a year after being drafted by the Brewers out of Michigan and in his first full season, in 1978, was an All-Star and 18-game winner. He was traded by Milwaukee to St. Louis in the famous deal that sent Rollie Fingers, Ted Simmons and Pete Vukovich to the American League, where they would help the Crew reach the post-season in 1981-82. From there, Lary spent time with the Indians, A's, Cubs, Expos and Giants before retiring with 93 wins, 235 games started and a career ERA of 4.15. He quickly found success as a broadcaster with ESPN and the Tigers before some personal issues took him away from the game until he resurfaced calling Wake Forest football and baseball games. An interesting journey with someone who lived through the 1981 baseball strike as well as being involved now in the analytics side of the game. 

Hope you enjoy!
